Real OpenJDK
Not a fork. Minimal patches against OpenJDK/jdk, with the explicit goal of upstreaming everything into the official repository. No proprietary detours.
The Lab
Real Java on Mobile. Open and Community-Driven.
Gluon is guiding the effort to run OpenJDK natively on iOS and Android — building the infrastructure, tooling, and documentation to make Java a first-class mobile language. One JVM, every platform.
The New Standard
OpenJDK on Mobile. A Community Effort.
Gluon is driving a sustainable, upstream-first approach to Java on mobile. This is not a small effort — and it can't be done alone. The project is open, the tooling is public, and the roadmap is shared.
Java Libraries on Mobile
Repurpose existing Java libraries as mobile components — no rewrite, no transpilation. If it runs on the JVM, the goal is to run it on iOS and Android too.
JavaFX on the Roadmap
Full JavaFX application support is a first-class goal of this initiative. The WORA promise continues — now on a sustainable, community-maintained foundation.
Mobile — Production Track
Your JavaFX app on iOS and Android. Today.
The existing Gluon Mobile stack is still available. Java version support is limited compared to the new OpenJDK initiative, but it can bridge the gap while the community builds the future-proof stack.
- Native iOS and Android targets from a single Java codebase
- Native look-and-feel integration with platform UI conventions
- Hardware-accelerated rendering via the Gluon Attach device layer
- Access to platform APIs: camera, GPS, push notifications, biometrics
- Maven and Gradle plugin support via GluonFX

Embedded
Industrial hardware. JavaFX performance.
From Raspberry Pi kiosks to industrial controllers, Gluon Embedded delivers hardware-accelerated JavaFX on constrained ARM devices without the overhead of a full desktop stack.
- Optimized JavaFX runtime for ARM Cortex-A and Cortex-M series
- Hardware-accelerated rendering via DRM/KMS, bypassing X11 overhead
- Support for industrial displays, touch panels, and kiosk hardware
- Headless and embedded Linux deployment workflows
- Long-term support aligned with JavaFX LTS release cadence

The Expert Connection
When the edge gets hard, hire the people who built it.
Mobile and embedded deployments surface the most complex layers of the JavaFX runtime. Our team spans the legacy production stack and the new OpenJDK initiative — available for T&M engagements when your team hits the ceiling.
Mobile Deployment Consulting
iOS App Store and Google Play submission strategy, signing, and release pipeline setup — from developers who have shipped production JavaFX apps on both platforms.
Embedded Systems Integration
BSP configuration, DRM/KMS rendering setup, and custom hardware bring-up. We make JavaFX run fast on your specific board, not just on reference hardware.
Performance on Constrained Devices
Scene graph optimization, memory footprint reduction, and startup time profiling on devices where milliseconds and megabytes matter. Solved at the framework level, not with workarounds.
